Bryan Danielson vs. Kenny Omega Reached Rare AEW Milestone
Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite Grand Slam in Queens, New York featured a non-title match between current AEW World Champion Kenny Omega and Bryan Danielson.
This match featured a lot of hard hitting chops and wrestling spots with neither Danielson nor Omega being able to score a pinfall or submission against the other within the match’s thirty minute time limit.
This was the fifth time in AEW history that an AEW match ended in a time limit draw. Prior to tonight’s match, AEW’s most recent time limit draw took place during the October 22nd episode of AEW Dynamite between Cody Rhodes and Orange Cassidy for the TNT Championship.
